The Dancing Machine

A colorful, stimulating humorous and thought-provoking exhibit of mechanical toys and automata, which the spectators can operate by pressing a button. All the exhibits were made by artists who work in wood and with mechanical objects for the Cabaret Mechanical Theatre in Great Britain, and are masterpieces that combine imaginative artistic design and impressive technical abilities.

The people, animals, and all other creatures come to life and begin moving, all by pressing a button which works assorted components such as cogwheels, levers, rubber bands, and wood chips in visible mechanisms which maintain old long-standing traditions that involve precise manual mechanical instruments.
